Recently I feel like I've been dumping a lot of my ideas out of my head and onto storage, which is useful for me but maybe a bit like cluttering up the place for other people? Regardless, here's another idea I've been dreaming up for a few years, on and off, but only have a … Continue reading Polyalbion

Quick Roundup
So for the last few weeks, I've managed to write a new post to go up each Monday and Friday, but I missed one. I had a bunch of writing built up and then through a combination of extra training at work and travel, I didn't get around to writing one. Big mistake! Hopefully, I'll … Continue reading Quick Roundup
Worlds to go back to
I haven't been too productive of late, despite telling myself that once again I'd kick into gear following the New Year. It would be nice to say that this post will be the start of a new trend, but I've told myself that before, and I still quickly get sidetracked by something or other. I can … Continue reading Worlds to go back to
Power cut-induced creativity
So due to Storm Ophelia, I had to stay home from work today, and then we lost power for a few hours. It's back now, but it meant I actually found time to write. So here's what I came up with at the time. Since I find myself stuck in a house with a … Continue reading Power cut-induced creativity
Parts of a City
Over the weekend, I had a non-digital day, turned off all my tech and only used my phone as a cooking timer when I made a very late dinner. I got a LOT of reading done. And I also did some brainstorming. So, here's a few location ideas I listed for parts and places … Continue reading Parts of a City
City takeover
The other day, I ended up having a scroll through some old blog posts and one caught my eye that I'd completely forgotten about. Since I've written that post, new novels about that hinted-at history have begun rolling out, but I'm ignoring those until I get my hands on a copy! Anyway, the point … Continue reading City takeover
F is for: the Five Dragons
The Five Dragons are five of the biggest and oldest Megacorps in existence, and each has a large presence in the Incorporated Islands of the Pacific Commonwealth. From cybernetic implants to home security security, from groceries to banking, from heavy manufacturing to global communications, the Five Dragons have a controlling stake in most areas outside of government … Continue reading F is for: the Five Dragons
A is for: Any Given Day / Access Restricted
I had a couple of different ideas of how to start off the A-Z month, but a little bit of fiction seemed like a good fit. Then I had trouble picking just the one idea to flesh out. So you get two! "Shades." The smart blinds rolled slowly up the windows, revealing the bright … Continue reading A is for: Any Given Day / Access Restricted
Don’t call it a comeback
Because that would be far too premature! It's been about 18 months since I've posted anything to this blog, and maybe a year since I feel like I've written anything meaningful. But there's still the constant buzz in my head of ideas, I'm just a bit crap at bothering to write them down anywhere! … Continue reading Don’t call it a comeback
Three month gap
So it's been almost three months since my last blog post. I'm really terrible at keeping these things going sometimes. I am resolving to kick this back into gear though. So, what's going on? Playing through the Lost Mines of Phandelvar adventure for D&D 5E with my usual group. And I'm PLAYING, not DMing, which … Continue reading Three month gap
Solar diversions
Those you you that follow me over on Google+ may have seen a post about the Hakunin Arcology in orbit above Neptune, or some murmurings about sci-fi bouncing around my mind. With that in mind, I may as well tell you that I'm throwing together some ideas for a sci-fi setting for my in-development rules … Continue reading Solar diversions
Setting as yet unrevealed
I've been working on a blog post for a while about the sci-fi setting I have in my head. Unfortunately, it gives away far too much about the setting because it says which novel series I'm ripping off. And then the players would be able to research things. (Though I have some suspicions right now … Continue reading Setting as yet unrevealed
